'Foley should resign from parliament': Minns1:09

November 9, 2018. Labor MP Chris Minns says Luke Foley should resign from parliament in the wake of a sexual harassment scandal, as he announces he’ll throw his hat in the ring for the leadership of the NSW opposition party. Mr Foley resigned as the leader of the NSW Opposition on Thursday after ABC journalist Ashleigh Raper issued a statement alleging he groped her at a 2016 Christmas Party. Mr Minns says Ms Raper’s statement was compelling and he believes her. “ I think he should resign his seat, I don’t think he can sit in the NSW Parliament, I think it’s the best thing for his family to focus on that part of his life and I think the sooner he does it the better,” he says.
